If you haven’t seen TOMS SHOES lately, take another look. Not only are they coming in great new, patterns and textures, but for those of us who like a little heel, there are adorable ballet flats and great looking wedges. They are the perfect spring and summer shoe. The company’s mission is to give one pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair purchased. It is such a beautiful and simple message. Founder, Blake Mycoskie notes, “Giving is what fuels us. Giving is our future.” To date TOMS has donated well over a million pairs.

ONE FOR ONE GIVING: In 2006, American traveler Blake Mycoskie befriended children in Argentina and found they had no shoes to protect their feet. Wanting to help, he created TOMS Shoes, a company that would match every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need. One for One. Blake returned to Argentina with a group of family, friends and staff later that year with 10,000 pairs of shoes made possible by TOMS customers.
